St. Pete Fire Rescue Visits JWB to Pack Welcome Baby Bags

As we continue moving through National Volunteer Month, JWB celebrates the ongoing support from St. Petersburg Fire Rescue (SPFR)!

SPFR recently sent 18 helpful cadets to JWB to pack Welcome Baby Bags in support of the Sleep Baby Safely Campaign on Monday, April 21st. The cadets worked efficiently as a team, packing 500 bags so quickly that they had time left over during their visit to also pack Children’s Mental Health Initiative materials for the upcoming NAMI Pinellas Walk! 

Annually, about 7,000 parents of newborns are given face-to-face education to protect babies from suffocation during sleep and Welcome Baby Bags filled with life-saving items, including a Sleep Me This Side Up onesie, Alone-Back-Crib sleep sack, and more. 

JWB is grateful for this collaboration with St. Pete Fire Rescue in supporting our safe-sleep campaign and training their new cadets.
